Description
Sultai Ascendancy, identified as card number 203, is a key enchantment from the Khans of Tarkir set released in 2014 by Wizards of the Coast for Magic: The Gathering. This card requires a mana cost of three, split between black, green, and blue, making it a versatile addition to multicolor decks focused on the Sultai clan's philosophy. The card's primary ability activates at the beginning of its controller's upkeep, allowing the player to surveil two cards. This mechanic lets you look at the top two cards of your library, then place any number of them into your graveyard while keeping the rest on top in any order. This functionality offers strategic depth, enabling players to dig for specific answers, set up future draws, or feed graveyard-dependent strategies common in the Tarkir block. Collectors appreciate Khans of Tarkir for its distinct art style and tribal themes. Sultai Ascendancy stands out for its mana efficiency and the unique surveil mechanic, which provides control over library topography without the randomness of drawing. Whether building a dedicated Sultai deck or seeking a reliable artifact removal tool in constructed formats, this card remains a staple for enthusiasts of the era. The Sultai Ascendancy card represents a significant piece of Tarkir lore and gameplay, appealing to both competitive players and collectors who value the set's design and narrative cohesion. Understanding the card's role within the Sultai color identity helps collectors evaluate its place in their collections and the broader Tarkir metagame. ## Sources
